The sigil of the Dark Hunters, for in the grim darkness of the far future, where a technologically-advanced humanity fights on a thousand fronts against aliens, heretics, mutants and demons, everyone still thinks axes are cool.
The novel focuses on the battle between the Dark Hunters, a chapter of genetically-engineered Space Marines, and their deadly rivals, the Punishers. Unusually for a debut novelist in the setting, the Black Library will be publishing the novel in hardcover, presumably out of recognition for the quality of Kearney's former work. The title of the novel suggests that sequels are hoped for.
The novel will be published on 7 May 2015.

Big Kearney fan but I know nothing about Warhammer. Would I be able to enjoy it without any background?
I have an overview of the setting here:

But generally speaking, the background is pretty easy to pick up.
Thanks Wert!
He's a good writer, I have high hopes for this one.
